I'm using a free online tutor at home... Learn to Type | Free Typing Tutor | Typing Course Its really nice because you log in and it monitors your progress. Plus, when you go back there it will start uo where you left off. I just finished the beginners courses and now I'm moving on to the intermediate. I did go from 18 words/minute at the start to 28 words/minute! I need 30 words/minute in April to pass the course. I'm sure I will get it.

3-help my son limb up some trees - why he decides to come on a Sunday I'll never know My greatgrandmother is probably having a hissy fit (does anyone know what that is? LOL)
4- have breakfast
5-fix hot water for coffee & tea (done already)
6-make the bed
7-work on lesson plan for the am

TDD - triple dog dare - list three things. Do 'em...then come back say you did and do three more!

So far today:
Made Archer's birthday card
Lunch
Looked at the paper
Washed and dried a load of clothes
Folded and put away some clothes (but not the same clothes)
Picked up a little in the living room
Decided on spaghetti for supper

Next up:
Fold clothes I just dried
Unload/reload dishwasher
Make a grocery list

I have come to the realization that I am not getting my list completed today. I forgot that I had to include make supper, give nick a bath, make Jarod have a shower, get them both ready for bed and get them both asleep. Plus pick our their clothes and my clothes for tomorrow and get myself ready for bed.

I hope I can continue on with it tomorrow evening and get a few more things done.

you have quite the schedule going on there Patricia. Makes you wonder where you fit it all in before, don't it? (i know this is incorrect usage) just sayin.

i am uploading pics from my camera and blogging the cards again. I kind of like the notes i say to myself in blogging that reminds me why i made a card a certain way. i make cards like i cook and could never really make the same card twice.

1-to find out what TDD stands for - Done - TRIPLE DOG DARE got it and may start using it more- you ladies are great
2- to find out what WHB stands for - Got the answer - Weekly House Blessing - will have ato check out the link

I'll need y'all's help with those two

3-help my son limb up some trees - why he decides to come on a Sunday I'll never know My greatgrandmother is probably having a hissy fit (does anyone know what that is? LOL) - I spent most of 10 - 3 helping him with that and another outside project plus getting 2dgds to take a nap while their mom went to the grocery store
4- have breakfast - somehow that one got missed and at this point I think it's a bit late unless we do breakfast for dinner, but we ate frozen yogurt so I'm guessing that will be dinner YUM
5-fix hot water for coffee & tea (done already)
6-make the bed - done
7-work on lesson plan for the am - will be working on this one for the next couple of hours

TDD - Triple Dog Dare, I think it came from the Flylady facebook page...you dare yourself to get three things done. You are supposed to write three quick tasks down, leave the computer and go do them, and come back when they are done and report that they are done.

Jeff took the boys to the gym with him. Amelia is just about asleep. I'm going to put her down and do 15-30 min of picking up, then get started on birthday cards. (Now, mind you, I could spend hours picking up and cleaning. But that ain't gonna happen.)

Glas I could add a bit of humor to your day. I really do understand what a hissy fit is and have thrown a few in my lifetime too. dyk

Back in FL. I am so out of practice for COLD weather. I am very happy to be back to sunshine and 70 degree temps. I am very glad I went up for the funeral and got to spend time with my cousin, but it is good to be home. I'm giving myself tonight to decompress and tomorrow begins a new week. Focus of this week will be getting prepared for the big quilt show next weekend. After Saturday I will declare success at survival for January and be very happy to prepare to move into what will be a much quieter February!

Paula, I may be asking you more about coconut oil. My hands were horribly dry again... I seem to have this every year about now. A friend said she had made some homemade lotion & she'd be happy to bring me some the next time we were up for an archery event. After 2 uses, It has helped way more than anything I have tried for weeks. It was coconut oil & raw shea butter. It's a little greasy going on, but soaks in quickly. My skin feels/looks great.

I made a solid lotion two years ago, I think, for gifts. It was super easy. Shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax. It was great stuff. The Shea butter was the hard thing to find at a decent price.

My list is small right now as I'm getting ready to head out to teach a 3 hour class of fire personnel but I will be adding to it when I get back home after noon.

Done -
1 -breakfast
2 -hot water for tea for me (dh has to work 6p - 6a so he won't be up until after I get back home most probably)
3 -shower
4 -dressed
5 -review notes for class
6 -RX for allergies (yesterday and the trees just about did me in and today I need to prune some shrubs and vacuum the furnace vents - I may not breath or see without scratching my eyes for weeks after all this)

To do after I get back home
7 -prune shrubs & get rid of cuttings
8 -vacuum furnace vents - my goal is all the ones in the house but it will depend on how much I have to work to get them somewhat clean and when dh gets up
9 -freeze the chili - I finally got it as right as it's going to be
10 -make the bed once dh gets up

That's my list for now but 2/3 of it is already done.

It is sunny here today but cold this am (39 F) but it is supposed to be aroudn 54 this afternoon then COLD the next couple of days (high of 40F or less and possibility of rain ARG)
